Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to a speed changing gear device in an automatic transmission for motor vehicles such as automobiles and railway carriages, and more particularly to such a speed changing gear device which is equipped with two single-pinion type planetary gear units and one double-pinion type planetary gear unit.
- a known speed changing gear device used in an automatic transmission for a motor vehicle has a plurality of suitably assembled planetary gear units, each of which has a sun gear, a ring gear, at least one planetary pinion meshing with the sun and ring gears, and a carrier rotatably supporting the planetary pinion or pinions.
- One of these gears and carriers (pinions) of the planetary gear units serves as an input element which is connected to an input member of the transmission
- another element of the gear device serves as an output element which is connected to an output member of the transmission, while other elements may be fixed to a stationary member such as a transmission casing.
- a rotary motion of the input member of the transmission is transmitted to the output member, at different speed reduction ratios, for forward or reverse running of the vehicle.
- the speed reduction ratios provided by the speed changing gear device as described above vary to a considerable extent, depending upon the manner of assembling or connecting the planetary gear units, the gear ratio of each planetary gear unit (i.e., number of teeth of the sun gear divided by number of teeth of the ring gear), and the number of the planetary pinions each planetary gear unit has.
- the speed changing gear device having a series of planetary gear units can be practically adopted if the gear device satisfies various conditions or limitations, such as installation adaptability to the vehicle body, feasibility of production, and power transmitting and speed changing characteristics and performance.
- the number of operating positions provided by the gear device and the speed reduction ratios of the respective operating positions are greatly variable, depending upon how the planetary gear units are connected to each other, which element of the gear device is connected to the input member of the transmission and which elements are made fixable to a stationary member.
- a suitable speed changing gear device for a vehicle transmission is selected based on the output characteristic of the engine to which the transmission is connected, and the type and required characteristics of the vehicle on which the transmission is installed.
- the number of the types of the gear devices that should be prepared is as large as that of the types of the motor vehicles on which the gear devices are installed. This results in poor productivity of the gear devices due to increased time for designing and manufacturing thereof. Namely, there should be prepared many basic arrangements of planetary gear assembly, which cannot enjoy common manufacturing or assembling steps, and the productivity of the necessary line of gear devices is accordingly lowered.
- the speed changing gear device having a plurality of planetary gear units is capable of establishing a plurality of speed reduction ratios, which largely differ depending on the manner of connecting the planetary gear units and the locations of the clutches and the brakes in the planetary gear assembly. Therefore, it is technically possible to determine the number of operating positions and the speed reduction ratios of the gear device as needed, by changing the numbers and locations of the clutches for receiving power from the engine and the brakes for holding stationary the selected elements of the gear device, while maintaining the same combinations of elements of the planetary gear units which are permanently fixed together, or connectable to each other by clutch means. In this way, the problem described above can be solved to some degree since the same basic arrangement of the planetary gear assembly may be used for different configurations of the gear devices.
- the basic arrangement of the planetary gear assembly is made relatively compact and small-sized, and easy to manufacture, and provides the speed reduction ratios which vary substantially in the form of a geometric progression, for reducing shifting shocks. It is also desirable that the basic arrangement provides a relatively wide range of speed reduction ratios, which includes a speed reduction ratio of "1" or lower as needed.
- the conventional speed changing gear devices as disclosed in the above-identified publications are not able to establish an overdrive position whose speed reduction ratio is "1" or lower. Further, these publications do not show the manner of changing the arrangement of the clutches and brakes so as to change the operating positions provided by the gear devices. In the conventional gear devices, the speed reduction ratios of the operating positions do not always change in the form of a geometric progression, thereby unfavorably inducing the shifting shocks, which deteriorate the driving comfort of the vehicle.
- DE-A-24 06 124 describes a speed changing gear device having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- the present invention was developed in the light of the situations described above. It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide a speed changing gear device in an automatic transmission for a motor vehicle, which has a basic arrangement including a plurality of planetary gear units, so that the arrangement permits easy modifications to provide different specific configurations which suit composite requirements of different types of automatic transmission of the vehicle.
- the above object may be attained according to the principle of the present invention, which provides a speed changing gear device in an automatic transmission for a motor vehicle, in accordance with Claim 1.
- these two elements may be separate members secured to each other by a suitable method.
- the two elements may be formed as a single integral member which attains two functions corresponding to the two elements. In the latter case, too, the two elements are interpreted to be fixed to each other by fixing means, according to the principle of the present invention.
- the clutch means indicated above may be a clutch which is engaged for selectively connecting the appropriate two elements indicated above.
- the ring gears of the first and third planetary gear units are always or momentarily rotated or held stationary as a unit, or rotated or held stationary independently of each other, thereby serving as an integral stationary element, separate stationary elements, an integral input element or separate input elements which is/are connected to the input member, or an integral output element or separate output elements which is/are connected to the output member.
- the sun gear of the first planetary gear unit and the ring gear of the second planetary gear unit serve as the integral stationary element or separate stationary elements, the integral input element or separate input elements, or the integral output element or separate output elements.
- the carriers of the second and third planetary gear units serve as the integral stationary element or separate stationary elements, the integral input element or separate input elements, or the integral output element or separate output elements.
- the sun gears of the second and third planetary gear units serve as the integral stationary element or separate stationary elements, the integral input element or separate input elements, or the integral output element or separate output elements.
- Each of the independent elements of the speed changing gear device, such as the carrier of the first planetary gear unit serves as an independent stationary, input or output element of the device.
- the individual planetary gear units cooperate to transmit a rotary motion of the input member of the transmission to the output member, at the different speed reduction ratios (which may include direct drive and/or overdrive ratio or ratios), for forward or reverse running of the vehicle.
- At least one of the three planetary gear units contributes to establishing the speed reduction ratio of the selected operating position, except for the direct drive position whose speed reduction ratio is equal to "1".
- the present speed changing gear device may be adapted to provide a relatively large number of operating positions including five to seven forward drive positions and one to two reverse drive positions, permitting stepwise speed changes over a relatively wide range of speed reduction ratio (that is, a relatively high ratio of the highest reduction ratio to the lowest reduction ratio). Further, the speed reduction ratios provided by the gear device may be determined so as to vary substantially in the form of a geometric progression.
- the present speed changing gear device incorporating the two single-pinion type planetary gear units and the one double-pinion type planetary gear unit gives a compact automatic transmission which can be readily modified for various applications, and which displays improved power transmitting characteristics, with reduced shifting shocks.

- suitable connecting means may be provided between the brakes B1, B2, B3 and the corresponding elements to be locked, or between the brakes and the transmission casing 6.

- the output shaft 5 connected to the second and third carriers 2C, 3C is rotated in the forward direction, at a considerably increased speed as compared with the rotating speed of the input shaft 4.
- the speed reduction ratio of the transmission placed in this 7th-speed position is represented by ⁇ 1 ( ⁇ 2 + ⁇ 3)/ ⁇ 3 (1 + ⁇ 1), and its specific value in this embodiment is 0.526.
- the rear drive position of the gear device is established by concurrent engagement of the first clutch K1, the first brake B1 and the third brake B3. More specifically, the first sun gear 1S is connected to the input shaft 4 through the first clutch K1, while the first carrier 1C, and the second and third sun gears 2S, 3S are fixed to the transmission casing 6 by the first and third brakes B1, B3.
- the first sun gear 1S is rotated with the input shaft 4 with the first carrier 1C locked, whereby the first ring gear 1R is rotated in the reverse direction, at a speed lower than the rotating speed of the input shaft 4. This low-speed reverse rotation of the first ring gear 1R is transmitted to the third ring gear 3R in fixed connection with the gear 1R.
- the second planetary gear unit 2 Since the third ring gear 3R is reversely rotated with the third sun gear 3S locked by the brake B3, the third carrier 3C and the output shaft 5 connected thereto is rotated in the reverse direction, at a relatively low speed.
- the second planetary gear unit 2 does not contribute to any speed reducing operation because of disengagement between the second ring gear 2R and the first sun gear 1S.
- the speed reduction ratio of the transmission placed in this rear drive position is represented by - (1 - ⁇ 3)/ ⁇ 1, and its specific value in this embodiment is -2.144.
- the speed reduction ratios provided by the present speed changing gear device placed in the 1st-speed position through 4th-speed position are determined so as to vary almost in the form of a geometric progression. This means that the ratio of the rotating speeds of the engine before and after each shifting operation is almost held at a constant value, permitting the automatic transmission to be smoothly and easily shifted up and down.
- the present gear device has the 5th- and 6th-speed positions as overdrive positions, which have respective speed reduction ratios of about 0.848 and 0.68 that are held within a practically permissible range.
- overdrive positions eliminates unnecessary increase in the rotating speed of the engine during a high-speed running of the vehicle while assuring a high degree of acceleration performance, improved fuel economy and noise-free running of the vehicle.
- any shifting operation of the gear device from one of the six forward-drive positions (1st-speed through 6th-speed positions) to the adjacent forward-drive position (except for 7th-speed position) requires only disengagement of one of the six coupling devices including the clutches and brakes K1-K3, B1-B3, and engagement of another coupling device. That is, all shifting operations are effected by disengaging one of the three engaged coupling devices and engaging one of the three disengaged coupling devices. Consequently, the gear device or transmission can be smoothly and easily shifted up and down, with comparatively reduced shifting shocks. Even if the gear device is shifted from the 5th-speed position to the 7th-speed position in place of 6th-speed position, the shifting operation requires only disengagement and engagement of appropriate two coupling devices (B3 and B2).
- the present speed changing gear device is comparatively simple in construction, since the gear device has only three planetary gear units 1, 2, 3, which have respective gear ratios held within a suitable range of 0.32 - 0.38. Accordingly, the gear device can be constructed relatively compact and small-sized, owing to sufficiently reduced radial dimensions of the three planetary gear units with the suitably determined gear ratios. Further, the relative rotating speeds of the planetary pinions 1P, 2P, 3P with respect to the carriers 1C, 2C, 3C can be sufficiently lowered.
- a speed changing gear device shown therein has an additional fourth clutch K4, which is provided for selectively connecting the third sun gear 3S and the third carrier 3S of the third planetary gear unit.
- the second and third planetary gear units 2, 3 are rotated as a unit when the fourth clutch K4 is engaged, since the third sun gear and carrier 3S, 3C and the second sun gear and carrier 2S, 2C respectively fixed thereto are connected or united by engagement of the fourth clutch K4.
- a total of seven forward-drive positions and two rear-drive positions are established by provision of the fourth clutch K4.
- the speed changing gear device of Fig. 1(a) is constructed such that the second and third sun gears 2S, 3S and the second and third carriers 2C, 3C are respectively fixed to each other for rotation as a unit.
